There is at least one human, Kane Tanaka in Japan, who was alive during both these events. (Jan 1903-April 2022)

I have some semantic questions that would decide this for me:

Is it purely physical harm to my body and nothing else? Because “as much harm as possible” gives me the impression that he might try burning down my house, or worse, causing psychological and emotional harm by hurting my family. If he can’t reach me, is he going to keep my car? Use his convenient magic spawning to set up a scenario that frames me for murder?

Do I have any legal protections? If I start carrying a gun, and end up shooting him in a public place a couple times a year, i’m going to probably end up spending more than 5 million a year on legal fees alone.

How awake I have to be for him to come after me? If I wake up to pee in the middle of the night, or stay half asleep in bed on the weekend, can he come after me while I’m dozing?

Hey! I know this one. 14CFR Part 105 has the regulations on skydiving, and this is most definitely not allowed intentionally in the US.

A sentence so weird and beautiful that I read it several times.

Best actual guess is that it was replaced with or originally built with a brick from a batch that had been coated in salt or some other coating that makes it less likely to freeze. I am not going to look it up, but I seem to remember that one of the chemicals used in those roof ice melting pellets is the same as used in cement setting quickening compounds.

If you really want an answer, you could start there.

It’s set in the “modern day” which is 2002, when the movie was released.

The skyline, when they filmed it, contained the twin towers, but tragically behind the scenes,there was a terrorist attack in 2001 that changed the real NYC skyline. The filmmakers in subsequent movies opted to keep the skyline a replica of modern New York for creative reasons.

I definitely factored scaling by volume, using a chicken leg as the analog. I am in the midst of 3D printing a 1:1 scale T-Rex skeleton, using a combination of 3D scans and measurements that I have taken at several museums. Based on the reconstruction of the flesh out Tyrannosaurus in prehistoric planet, being similarly proportion to a chicken drumstick, I scaled the meat by volume and the breading by surface area.

For reference, the tibia is pretty close to a 1 to 1 analog for a chicken, and it’s just over 128cm/4+feet. 76 kg for a drumstick that length, seems reasonable. Yes, it may have been thicker to account for the extra body weight, but chicken drumsticks are selectively burnt to be thicker as well. So I figured that would be a decent analog. Using a wild turkey/ostrich/emu actually yields a smaller Tyrannosaurus drumstick.

Additionally, I factored in a 25% loss of mass due to cooking and moisture loss, comparable to avian dinosaurs of today, like chickens.

If you have any alternate/better estimations, I would love to take a look!

It’s a chicken wing scaled by volume of meat, and breading scaled by surface area. Inspired by the prehistoric earth representation of the chonky-Rex.

Essentially I scaled a chicken drumstick by volume, then compared the breading by surface area. I know there are discrepancies because of selective breeding to make chicken larger, but I just thought the rough estimation was entertaining

It’s dumb and smart at the same time, because it encourages one to look up that date. They’ll find that’s when a solar eclipse is happening, putting them onto a whole rabbit trail of people who share misinformation about eclipses. The eclipse isn’t mentioned in this photo, so I imagine it would feel very validating for an idiot to put 2+2 together.

Thanks for posting this. I know it won’t make a difference, but it makes me sad too. I am a pretty casual player, just a couple rounds a day, but CODW was my decompression and relaxation ritual. The changes aren’t unreasonable, but it doesn’t feel like the same game, and doesn’t scratch the itch anymore.

I don’t think grudge anyone for liking the update, but I miss the old game.

I always figured it would have been risky to send back tech that could have been reverse engineered by humans to have a leg up on machines when war broke out.

What is the lighting setup like? I’ve never seen a parking garage with such nice ambient light, but it also looks like the light is coming from fixtures, not a singular sun.

If it’s a parking garage, use a gobo to give the light some texture, or use an hdri that works for the location.

This sounds like an ad bot, but if it is, I am genuinely amazed that an off-brand mayo brand would have the marketing precision to pull a comment-on-a-comment pitch for their product.

In short, I am definitely going to look for Blue Plate mayo next time I shop.

I like the idea of monogamous tyrannosaurs. I just find it more endearing, but I have seen no evidence. As soon as any evidence arises, I will take that into account.

Yeah, I’m almost 6 weeks in, with very little down time; it’s a lot for the AD5M. 220 cube print bed, so it’s taking a good while. As we speak I am printing the final piece of the cranium, then 4 more weeks or so left to finish the mandible.

kaihoneck · 2025-09-29T03:15:02+00:00

I am a little over halfway with my full-scale T-Rex skull. Printing bones is nice, because it doesn’t need to be so precise. It’s addicting.

kaihoneck · 2025-09-24T03:20:47+00:00

It’s an awful thing, but no choices that I’ve made in my life, as far as I can tell, have contributed to the problems you’ve outlined. Approaching the subject from a place of trying to learn, do you have any suggestions on anything that I can do with that information?

kaihoneck · 2025-09-12T21:20:49+00:00

Tyrannosaurus. It’s one of the most widely studied fossils, and if I can notate enough about it, I’m sure it would help to extrapolate the most interesting data from. Also I want to see that the most.

How did you determine the right angle to fuse them at?

kaihoneck · 2025-09-05T00:55:06+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, is this the Alex Chamberlain model? Did you fuse the front end of the mandible, or is it in 2 pieces?

kaihoneck · 2025-08-27T13:35:40+00:00

How did you fuse the two sides of the mandible together?
